The object () function in Python returns an empty object. You cannot add new properties or methods to this object. This return object is the basis for all classes, and contains default built-in properties and methods for all classes.

The syntax of the object () function in Python:

 o = object()

Parameters of the object () function

The object () function contains no parameters.

The value returned from object ()

The object () function returns an empty object, the object has no features (Featureless Object).

Example 1: how does object () work?

 test = object() print(type(test)) print(dir(test))

When you run the program, the output will be:

  ['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__']

In the above code, we create the test object and use the built-in functions type () and dir () to get the object's valid types and properties. The result has no __dict__ in the output. Therefore, you cannot assign arbitrary properties to instances of this class.
